Retired… he is still humping his cart about the streets of Margate with parcels to send. Stop saying your retired Rich when you clearly aren’t. It’s cringe.

My favourite memory and still have a wee giggle to myself when I think about it is when he applied and sent Dr Martins his design and heard nothing back.
He isn’t an artist, nothing is ever original it’s him seeing something then taking the idea and adding a silly quote to it.
 
There was a bit of bickering at the time and stuff picked up from the comments. But he said he sold it to some employee, (which was bullshit if he actually licenced it) his name was Matt maybe if i remember right, this was just after the bar fiasco kind of tarnished the name and I think he tried distancing himself from it as he fled to the opposite end of the country.

The guy did a few reprints and a load of stuff that was totally different to what had gone before and bad quality shirts with grammar/spelling mistakes, all pretty amateur. Then rich started ASA2.0 and even doing some reprints or variations of old ASA stuff which I think basically fucked the other guy. I think Rich eventually pulled the plug on it after watching his brand tank and demanded it be wound down or tried getting it back or something who knows. Obviously still a mess.

Ahhhhh it was Matt. Ok I thought this was another guy. Yeah he ran it even more into the ground. Mind he was selling knives? In Glasgow…which has a huge knife crime problem. Pair of knobs.

ASA had its time. It’s embarrassing that Rich is trying to bring it back from the dead. It makes sense as to why he didn’t (couldn’t) use the ASA insta with the high follower numbers to rebrand as his disaster pish. That must have stung considering he’s struggled to get 6k followers.

So just this second looked at his Disaster Inc insta and it looks like he’s created yet another tit brand called Tired T Shirts. The vintage t-shirts all embarrassing Florida souvenir shirts your grandpa would wear in the early 90s. Nothing cool here.

“bedroom of an east end glasgow flat” is sending meeee, not only because of the embarrassingly lumpy phrasing but also because of how he’s trying to make it sound so humble beginnings to fit with his rags-to-riches narrative whereas you’re paying oot the nose for a flat in the east end these days 🫠 read the room for once in ur life rich m8

didnt he also have a shirt brand like a year or two ago called muchos caballos? with like garish print shirts and sort of tex-mex borderline cultural appropriation style stuff? and him and his wife ran an interiors thing for like five minutes, didnt they? think i remember some kind of like tibetan tiger rugs and wallpaper. genuinely can’t even remember if that was a fever dream or not, never know with this guy ffs

Is he making this himself handing out copies or does he have a publisher? If he was my other half sitting doing that all day while I was out working he’s be told get a grip and get actual job then his Mrs is just as bad as him. He just puts me in mind of being the male Carrie Bradshaw SITC.
